KANBAN PROGRAMS

SHINE Supports Your Kanban Programs

SHINE’s support for your Kanban programs demonstrates our commitment to quality. Kanban, a visible and flexible manufacturing system, complements our custom cable assembly, electro-mechanical assembly, and wire harnessing expertise.

What Are Kanban Programs?

Kanban programs promote quality through the use of visual signals. The word Kanban, a Japanese phrase that translates as “card you can see”, begins when you order is entered and then follows each item downstream. With Kaban programs, defects and incorrect amounts are never sent to the next process.

Kanban Programs and Cost-Effective Manufacturing

Kanban programs support the kind of high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing that you expect. Our support for them has helped to make SHINE a leader in custom cable assembly, electro-mechanical assembly, and wire harnessing. Two techniques, Kanban boards and Kanban pull systems, are especially important.

Kanban Boards

Kanban boards are visualization tools that help production teams optimize workflow. At their simplest level, they contain columns called Backlog, Current, and Completed. Sometimes, the Kanban board is a special whiteboard that’s a prominent part of production operations.

Kanban Pull Systems

SHINE works with our customers’ pull systems to optimize the flow of resources. We replace only what has been consumed and analyze actual demand and consumption rather than following generic forecasting. This helps us to eliminate waste and promote cost-effective manufacturing.
